Varied, easily accessible and well-organised!

Christel Pothuizen - Sales & Service Benelux, Pfeiffer VacuumBenelux (exhibitor)

Unique trade show in the processing world!

Dirk Van Bogaert -Verkoop Industrie, Deprest nv (exhibitor)

A great boost for customer acquisition!

Pieter Marchand - Managing Director, Suminvent bvba (exhibitor)

Trade show participation costs money and therefore there must be a return for the stand holder. The organisation behind the scenes is always complicated and I have experienced quite some other trade shows where the stand holder is left to his own devices. Here, on the other hand, we have a professional framework where they also pay attention to the inner man and woman. A satisfactory score because of the smart partnership and framework.

Erik Lamal – Sales Director, I.safe Mobile GmbH (exhibitor)

Excellent organisation and a good/close partnership with the Easyfairs team that is open to new ideas. Excellent preparation of our own team: we have had the promotion engine run at full tilt internally and externally. Trade show participation is much more to us than just having a stand on the floor: a stand is but one of the elements of a campaign.
